The Shark Deck Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Fashion brand Perceval has announced to celebrate twenty five years since the final episode of Seinfeld aired, and in celebration of one hundred years of Warner Brothers. Sure, why not we bring you Seinfeld ex Perceval, a limited edition Seinfeld collection featuring your favorite moments in true Perceval style. Okay, so the late bot chimed in and said, Hey, did you guys hear about the new Seinfeld clothing line. It’s like a stand up routine for your wardrobe.
It’s called What’s the deal with Fashions? Yeah, the Seinfeld clothing line. Apparently, the clothes are so comfortable they make sitting in a diner booth for hours on end feel like a breeze. Let me tell you, it’s all about the puffy shirt aesthetic. You’ll look like a pirate on a yacht ready to deliver some punch lines.
The Seinfeld clothing line is perfect for those who want to look sophisticated while complaining about the most mundane things. It’s like wearing a suck sedo while discussing the proper way to eat cereal. The clothing line is all about the pilot episode. Look, you’ll find lots of blazers, I wasted pants and hairstyles that say I’m still trying to figure out my character, but I’m confident it’s going to work. Here’s the actual story from Cracked Perceval, who’s in East London clothe air that combines a quintessentially British sense of understated style and rare internationally sourced fabric and materials.
So Seinfeld, what okay, there’s a Seinfeld inspired plain brown jacket. You know how much it costs? Three hundred and eighty five dollars. You are right, you guessed exactly correct. Crack points out, if you really want to dress like Jerry Seinfeld, you can get a very similar jacket at the Gap for seventy five dollars.
All right, Maybe something a little cheaper. How about a plain black T shirt that says Hello Newman sixty seven dollars. It doesn’t eve out a picture of Newman on it, it just says Hello Newman. The pop in shirt has the show’s logo hiding in a checkerboard design that runs you one hundred ninety five dollars two hundred and ten dollars Seinfeld themed trousers two hundred and ten dollars George and Jerry boss sweaters. No, do you like using ways when you’re in traffic?
I’m a ways advocate use ways all the time. If Ways teld me to go from my house to your house through Antarctica, I’d be like, I don’t know, it doesn’t sound right, but I’m gonna do it because anytime you ignore ways, you get there and you find that the tree has smashed into a train and there’s a forest fire, and you’re gonna be there for nine hours and you’re like, why didn’t I make the left on Main Street? Like it sold me too well. The Ways Voice, if you really like to customize things, can be Hasan Minhaj. He’ll be entertaining users with relatable commentary on traffic.
Now, I love ways, I hate the gimmick wayses. I just want traffic. I don’t need stale jokes from any comedian. It’s not why I’m there. Just tell me which way to go.
Also, you know what Ways needs to add. It needs to add the yes, I know how to get out of my own neighborhood. Then start telling me voice directions. It needs that feature like because usually I have to get sound off because I know this stop signed the end of my block. I know, and then I get on a highway and then I turned it on like it needs like an in between mode.
What I’m saying. Ways, you can also change your icons. There’s now a Suburban Dad minivan icon, which represents Minhaj’s status as a father little stretch there. There’s also a Hasan Minhaj inspired mood icon, which is how drivers appear on the map. Once enabled, users can navigate the road in Suburban Dad energy.
If you’d like to do this, go to customize your drive and the menu select Hasan Minhaj. Aaron Rodgers is coming to the New York Jets. He’s friends with Bert Kreisher. Bert Kreisher was talking about nicknames because Joe Nam was Broadway Joe, and Bert said, it’s got to be something cool, like Midtown Aeron, Downtown Airon, Uptown Aeron, and he said Uptown Aeron, that’s a good one. Then he broke out into a song based on Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl.
I’m not gonna sing, but the lyrics go Uptown Eron. You’ve been living in green Een Bay I’m kind of talksing like tavidly Roth. But but now you’re all the way in Flushing, Queens, Bert, what kind of Jets fairing are you? The Jets haven’t played in Flushing since nineteen eighty five. The rest of the lyrics and now you’re going to get a falafel there or comb your hair and your uptown errand sing along with the late night shows on strike publicist seemed a little stretch, one insider, so the Hollywood Reporter, these shows are hugely important.
Even if viewership is down across the board, You’ve got the YouTube and social media reach of all those talk shows and talk show personalities. We have these huge summer movies opening and had very big late night plans which had to be scrapped. We’re looking at what audiences were losing and where else we can find that audience. Joe Rogan talked about getting into comedy back in nineteen eighty eight and said I started after the wave. Yeah, there was that whole wave of stand up in the eighties kind of fizzled out.
Rogan said they were all those evening at the improv shows and stand up specials like the MTV Half Hour Comedy hour. There’s a lot of mediocre comedy out there. There were a lot of people who are doing what sounded like an impression of what a comedian should sound like, Joe says, but there was one comedian who stood out. It was Richard Jenny. Richard was great.
I’ll tell every Jenny story. On the other side of this, Rogan said, watching stand up on TV, I used to love watching Richard Jenny on the Tonight Show. He’s incredible. Rogan told a story about driving home and his phone just started randomly playing a Richard Jenny bit. He said, I was laughing so hard and driving home, he downloaded all of Richard’s performances from that category.
It made him realize how good Richard was as a comedian. So I saw Richard a few times. He called me directly one time when I was running Serious XM Comedy and he asked me why we were playing one of his bits that he had never released. And I was quite confused, and I said, Richard, it’s on your album and he said, no, it’s not. No.
I’m totally confused because Richard would kind of know what’s on his album. But I’m looking at it going like, well, I didn’t invent a Richard Jenny bit. And I said, hold on, let me get back to it. And I went on the computer. So when he would load a CD into the computer.
Back in the day, an album would have a root number, let’s say one, two, three, four five, and then each individual track would have a sub number. So track one on the CD is one two three four five, dash zero zero one, next one zero zero two, and so on. You know how numbers work, And the bit he was questioning was like one two, three, four five zero twelve, sitting nicely between eleven and thirteen. So I called him back and I’m like, I’m totally confused here, not trying to steal your material, don’t know what’s going on, but here’s the track listing I have, you know, ABC D D D D And he said it’s not on the album, and I tug a little deeper. We had gotten an advanced copy of the CD from the record label, so on the advanced copy it was there.
On the officially released album it was taken off, so it must have changed his mind. Somewhere along the wayside pulled the clip no harm, no foul. Guy was cool enough, wasn’t jerk about it. Totally appreciate your Richard. You were a great comedian.
Have you been watching ted Lasso? No spoilers at all here, zero spoilers. But this season the A V Club has the headline ted Lasso Recap. This show cannot seem to get out of its own way. Again, no spoilers this season.
The series has yet to meet a thorny plot. It can’t neatly solve within an episode’s time. They add they can’t stress enough how much episode lengthy episodes are longer now almost an hour has hurt what was once of the sunniest, funniest comedies around. This used to be one of the shows my wife and I would watch together and I’ve just lost interest. I’m going to finish it, but the show has become like a drag to watch.
When it came out during the pandemic, it was just happy and bright and it was about soccer, and this season it’s just about all these other things. And I’m like, I don’t know, can we just go out there and just I think, just run the playbook? Right? So season one, hey we got relegated. Season two, hey we made it back to the Premier League.
So this year, whatever, get relegated. Just do like soccer kind of stuff. All this other drama. I don’t want that. I just want like lights and happy and Brett Goldstein hating on things, and I don’t know they overthought season three of ted Lasso.
I’m not the only one feeling this way, nor is the Avy Club. You will find tons of articles about ted Lasso season three very disappointing. John Cleese has more information about the reboot of Faulty Towers. Shortle reports John Clees is killing off Basil Faulty’s wife Sybil for the reboot. It had been previously announced that the new version will take place in the Caribbean.
It’s being run by Basil Faulty’s daughter, likely to be played by John Cleese’s real life daughter, Camilla. John has now explained the new character was an illegitimate child born from Basil’s illicit affair with a hotel guest. He told the son Sybil dies and Basil goes to see his daughter because it was all part of a naughty affair that he once had with a guest at the hotel. Clees explained that the new series would start with a mistype type message. John said the new one starts with Sybil’s death and Basil’s daughter getting a text message from her father saying, Sibil did.
She texts back, Sibil did. What Basil’s about to deliver the eulogy and says what an absolutely wonderful woman Sibyl was.
And then the camera pans around and you see that behind his back he has his fâŚ
Prinella Scale has played Sibil in the original Sheet is ninety and has Alzheimer’s. Klees previously said of the setting the show in the Caribbean this time, if you put it in the Caribbean, it becomes very multiracial. People in the hotel business come from everywhere, so you can bring lots of different people together. The characteristic of fault Towers was the pressure cooker atmosphere created in the hotel. John said, I must apologize.
I had no idea that the idea of writing a new sitcom with my daughter would cause so much anger distress. I truly meant no harm. Naively, I thought it might be fun. But I feel terrible about having released this tide of negative emotion. Please forgive me.
Faulty Towers co creator and former wife Connie Booth said she had no idea about the reboot until she read about it on the papers. And that’s your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, you two, wherever you get your shows. See tomorrow
